Stockbridge Valley's girls basketball team, who has played with five players for most of the season, clinched a sectional berth with a 40-24 victory over DeRuyter Monday. Cassie Marshall led the Cougars with 18 points in the victory while sister Oliva added 12.

"We held them strong in the third quarter which was big," said Fort. "We came out with a commanding lead, eight points ahead, and then we outscored them again in the fourth."
